Featured Creature: The Syl'udet

Excerpted from Marge Hollander's Digest of Demons and Devils:

"The Syl'udet are a common race of parasitic demons.  Within the confines of Hell they are as prolific as rats in urban sewers.  Most humans will have contact with these dread pests at least once in their lifetimes.

Within the earth plane, the Syl'udet generally cannot be seen by the mundane eye.  They are visible briefly during twilight times and then only by those who are sensitive or psychic.  However, there are many occult devices that do allow a mundane viewer to perceive these creatures.  In two separate recorded incidents, Syl'udet have been perceived using Sheridan's Visor as well as a Veil of the Mudra.

Coming Soon: Third Annual Halloween Outbreak!


As the days grow colder and darker, the walls between the worlds grow thinner.  Strange entities wait just on the other side of the veil. Each year on All Hallow's Eve they break out and overrun the world of the mundane. 

My Neatoshop Giveaway Extension

Apparently the link to my initial post about my Neatoshop tshirt giveaway did not transfer over to my facebook. Thanks Mercury retrograde!   To make up for lost time, I am extending the deadline for the giveaway one week.  It will wrap up on October 11th.  I'm kind of grateful because this will allow time for me to squeeze in a couple more designs.  :-)

I'm including the giveaway details below again:

Saturday Sketch: Silver Age Abel

A companion piece to last week's image of Cain, here we have Abel, caretaker of the House of Secrets.

From the Archives: Happy Easter!


Here comes Peter-Cotton-Zombie shambling down the zombie trail!  Happy Eastaarrrhhhh!

Here we have the header for the month of April 2014.  My fear of people in full body mascot costumes, especially in public places, informed many of my choices within this piece.  Making the person inside a zombie and well...I'm done.  The color for this piece was fairly challenging.  In general, I'm not a big fan of pastel colors.  Dealing with those colors as my main palette and trying to maintain a sense of horror simultaneously was challenging.

Featured Creature: The Ushtohc

Excerpted from Marge Hollander's Digest of Demons and Devils:

"The Ushtohc are an invasive other dimensional race.  They insert a portion of their consciousness into innocuous everyday objects and remain hidden while their influence grows.  They slowly infect the immediate reality with their presence until a suitable mobile host presents itself.  Once they have invaded a mobile host, they are nearly impossible to exorcise without great psychic effort.  Luckily, their transmission into the earth realm seems to only coincide with very rare celestial alignments."

Saturday Sketch: Silver Age Cain

Here is Cain from the House of Mystery.  I first met Cain and his brother Abel in the early issues of Sandman, but they both appeared long before.  Doing my research for this piece I never realized that Berni Wrightson was so involved with the House of Mystery.  I also did not realize that it was such a long running title.  I've got some back issue tracking to do.  :-)

Also, this piece is much larger than the normal Saturday Sketches.  I was in a groove when I began working on it and before I realized the size difference I was mostly finished.  So this one isn't sketchcard size.

From the Archives: Moon Mystery

Done in an older contour style, here is a sketch of an embodiment of the mystery of the moon.  There is an echo of ancient Egyptian style to the imagery and a faint feeling of the Goddess Isis within the image.  These choices were not intentional at the time.  I often drew in this style ecstatically with no planned intention when I began drawing.  I would just begin drawing to see what emerged.  This process is what evolved into the process I use to create the pieces within the Psyche Delectus Tenebrarum.

Featured Creature: Cow Demon Robot

I've been drawing alot of humans in the Featured Creature lately and this week I wanted to get more creature back into the posts.  This image however, turned out more comedic than scary.  I figure though that somebody somewhere must be afraid of cow demon robots even if they're smiling...or maybe because they are smiling.
